Yeah swirl flaps, sorry, late night posting does strange things to the link from head to keyboard! That's a heck of a lot of cash! For what's in an adapter it's difficult for me to see nearly $10k AUD value, perhaps the BMW box is the go.... Or perhaps I can have something made locally. From what I've found chatting to the local dealership, internally the M57 variants are identical, so the power differences come from head differences, mapping, and the number of turbos you hang off the side. I'd like to set myself a target of 200Kw and 600Nm which I'm sure is achievable...

Another thread dig! Looking at doing this in my currently Td5 Discovery. Thankfully the Td5 is at an age where people aren't put off by it. Getting the rest of the computer systems to work shouldn't be too hard, hell, there's a 4BD1T powered Disco 2 running around in the US so it can't be that hard. Apparently Rakeway do an adapter for the M57 to the MT82 Getrag, which is available in a beefed up version here behind the 3.2L ford ranger so that makes things easier! The BMW box has good ratios but eats synchros apparently. It seems these engines have the capacity to put out some serious numbers so I'll set myself a target of 200Kw and 600Nm Will be turbo, IC, mapping upgrade for sure... Tacr2man, you mention that a pre -04 variant is the best to fit? I've read all the issues of the swirl pots, is there anything stopping a later variant from being fitted? We don't really have the availability of BMW diesels here in Aus that you guys do! Cheers Muppet
